Re: Mike Wells: Pacers reach out to Mickael Pietrus

Wouldn't mind seeing a Delonte pick up, I think in terms of actual ability he's pretty easily the best you'd find at this point.

Based on his time in Boston, he's by no means a bad intentioned guy, just doesn't always have his head in the right place. But he tends to have a good reputation amongst his teammates, so I don't think he's THAT big of a risk.

Given the really odd and reasons for his abrupt dismissal from Dallas.....I don't think that he'd be a good Player to pick up.

Besides...we need more of a SF that can play some SG minutes...not another PG.

Re: Mike Wells: Pacers reach out to Mickael Pietrus

I'm fine with Pietrus. He's still a pretty cagey defender and can the open three point shot from time to time. He's been on some contending teams and played well in clutch spots and doesn't have baggage of Delonte West and Josh Howard-types.

Re: Mike Wells: Pacers reach out to Mickael Pietrus

dumb questioin and it may have been asked, but since danny will be out for an extended period. can we put him on some type of IR list to open a roster spot?

Not a dumb question, but answer seems to be no (at least for now). If Danny were out for the season though, the Pacers can apply for a Disabled Player Exception to sign a replacement. Frankly, it wouldn't surprise me if Danny did end up missing the entire season - his injury sounds pretty bad.

Re: Mike Wells: Pacers reach out to Mickael Pietrus

I wonder what it would take to get the Bucks to trade Dunleavy to us? He is the passer and scorer we desperately need to make our offense flow correctly in my view, and we have enough other defenders to cover for him at this point.

I would offer a ton for Eric Bledsoe I think he can be had for the right package. His scoring would help so much combine that with his body and upside Id call and see what it would take. He is behind Cp3 and they have depth. I wouldn't trade him but who knows. hill Bledsoe PG24 West would be a real solid scoring group. Bledsoe is a freak athlete who is terrific off the dribble just what we need. DJ and 2 firsts protected is what I would offer. I think he is posied to be a breakout stud. He is really the only guy who a team may trade that I would really go after.

The Clippers aren't trading Bledsoe, even for that. They overvalue him right now; he's too much of a game changer.

I agree I wouldn't trade him. If CP3 resigns this summer I would call then too. I doubt they trade him but it would be worth a try. He is what we need someone dynamic on both ends. This summer if DG is healthy a DG for Bledsoe framework would be something that could work. DG as the 3rd option there would be scary. I still doubt they do it but I would try he is gonna be really good.

Re: Mike Wells: Pacers reach out to Mickael Pietrus

CP3's deal is up after this year.
Griffin's contract really ratchets up after this year to $16M, and gets as high as $21M in 2018.
DeAndre's contract is about $11M

Clippers are looking at $48M in salary next season, and that's without CP3's contract. He can make up to $18M on his next contract so the Clips are looking at $60M+ after next season, which will be right around the salary cap.

The good thing is that they have another year to decide.

Yep that was my thinking they can't really afford him unless Sterling is willing to pay the LT. I would just kick the tires on him like the Rockets kept doing with Harden. No one thought Harden would be traded but because Morey had asked about him so much they got 1st dibs. I think come this off season he will ethier be traded or somehow resigned.
